Isn't this a scene from Inception?

I was shocked a long time ago by a photo of a highly folded street like Inception on the Internet, and at that time I planted a wish seed in my heart to go to Malta in the future. It turns out that the photo of the street with a huge slope was taken from this Old Mint Street. 🌈Background Old Mint Street can be said to be the most frequently appearing characteristic old street in the ancient city of Valletta. The mint, translated into mint, originally means coinage. Because this street was the location of the coin minting factory during the Knights period, the name came from this. Although there are many steep streets in the ancient city of Valletta, Old Mint Street is the most characteristic and photogenic one. This long street that can be seen at a glance forms a U-shaped slope along the terrain, and the Baroque-style dome church standing at the end of the street, and the Mediterranean background of the blue sky and blue sea in the distance, make almost every visitor to Valletta. They will definitely come here to take a most iconic group photo, which is considered to have really been to Malta. 📸Shooting Tips 1️⃣The best photo angle is at the other end where you can see the dome church 2️⃣Avoid shooting when the light ratio is strong at noon 3️⃣The stone steps on the street are also very good for shooting 4️⃣Vehicles are allowed to drive on Old Mint Street, so be especially careful when taking pictures at intersections to avoid vehicles and not affect traffic. 5️⃣In addition to Mint Street, Valletta has many steep streets that are very beautiful and can see the sea at a glance. 📍Navigation: Old Mint Street 🚗Traffic: If you take a bus or taxi to Valletta, it is recommended to enter from the Fountain of the Son of the Sea, which is the main gate of the old city of Valletta. Then stroll over slowly.
